This Zinfandel draws primarily from a wide selection of our oldest, most historic and shyest-bearing Zinfandel blocks. The vines are planted on their own roots. The lots that we hand-selected are the results of sensitive farming practices and the Fruit was discriminately picked.

The 2010 “Sideways Lot 69” Reserve Zinfandel shows wonderful raspberry, blackberry, currant, and walnut; with roasted coffee characters. Aging in French oak has lent this wine a subtle vanilla quality that nicely complements the explosive fruit notes.

Enjoy with your best cuts of beef and finest cheese.

After years of playing second fiddle to the so called “King” Cabernet, Zinfandel has finally become trendy, and this Lodi wine is Lodi Zinfandels undisputed champion. This Zinfandel fruit was hand selected from the first vineyard John Van Ruiten planted over 50 years ago and is among the families most prized grapes. Our 2010 Old Vine Zinfandel is packed full of blackberry, cherry and blueberry jam with barrel flavors contributing aromas of coffee, cedar, and finishing with anise.

The wine has a dark, rich color and plenty of minerality, loads of bright and savory raspberry and black currant fruit, with hints of pepper and crushed rocks. This wine pushes the envelope of sheer decadence with an expressive fragrance of briary berries, pepper, and spice.

The grapes for this wine were hand picked and sorted to allow only the best fruit to go into this wine. The Winsome Old Vine Zinfandel is packed full of cherry and blackberry; aromas of cedar and licorice with hints of pepper gives this wine decadent flavors and an expressively fragrant nose.

A delicate blush pink color introduces this fresh, lively wine. On your palate, light creaminess surrenders to a refreshing crisp finish of strawberries, raspberry and cherry with a hint of lemon peel.

Enjoy chilled as an aperitif or winetini. Partnered with all types of foods, particularly those with a slight spiciness, such as Asian or Latin cuisine.
